Hollywood: Favourite Movies, Actors and Awards. Tinseltown reviews & Gossip

ewwww he looks like an albino freak 

Crash is just another frustrating anomaly in the academy awards. Javier won for supporting actor and Daniel Day-Lewis DID win for best actor. That was his second oscar for best actor. No Country was the movie. All the way. Brad Pitt shoulda been nominated but shouldn't have won. But definitely should have been nominated.

Was Brolin nominated at all? Javiar deserved the Oscar. But I was rooting for Casey. JJ showed him a better actor than his brother,who only impressed me in Armageddon and Shakespeare in Love.

Brad Pitt wasn't nominated for his brilliant performance in Fight Club, why would be nominated for JJ? Has the man ever been nominated for an Oscar at all? Edward Norton was stunning in the movie, furnishing a complex, excruciatingly multi-layered performance, and wasn't nominated for Best Actor. I've long stopped expecting the Oscars to make sense.   

And Lee is an amazing director. Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon is rich and beautiful on every level,as is Brokeback. That he was denied Best picture is painful,but he's still going to get it.   

iice! Skarsgard's son is delish. Better looking than the dad. All that molten blond hotness. Where do you find these men?

Ewwwwwwwwwwww 

Ben Affleck is terrible. casey slams him to death.

max, have you seen Pan's Labrinyth. Another movie slighted for Best Foreign Film 

The Lives Of Others

which I thought was a  very good German film however i still preferred Pan's.

Cant believe it didnt AT :EAST win best score. Havent watched a movie with such a beautiful score since BB

well i think Angelina Jolie is overated, my greatest fantasy in Holywood is Megan Good, She's simply a hotie

I haven't seen Pan's. I will now.
Only foreign movie I've seen lately is The Diving Bell and the Butterfly. Thirty minutes and I was too full of horror and claustrophobia to continue. Great film, if you can take it. I couldn't.

Karma, I don't get No Country For Old Men. Bardem is only 'technically' evil. He isn't, say, a charming but purely evil Lecter. He merely sees the world differently, and lives by a strange code of honour and a bizarre system of rules. I get why Brolin's wife had to die. He'd told Brolin he'd kill her. But he is unexpectedly disarmed by her, and does her the greatest kindness of which he's capable; he offers her a chance to escape her fate.  But Brolin's wife doesn't know what he is,is infuriated that he'd turn the matter of her life and death into a game, and tragically refuses to take that chance. Only,it isn't a game to him; it's life.

What I don't get is the manner of Brolin's death. Were the Coen Brothers too chicken to explore a final showdown between the two men, or was a showdown unnecessary?Or were they aiming for a The Departed effect? I get DiCaprio's end in that movie, it's pure genius. I don't get why Brolin had to die the way he did.   

And that guy is totally hot.
What's Pan's Labyrinth about?
     

I believe it was the Mexicans that killed Brolin actually. Not Chigurh

my thing is why the hell didnt Chiigurh take the money when he shot up all those mexican dudes in the beginning. Lol bloody psychopath

Max, You definitely NEED to get Pan's Labyrinth. Just the score alone is awesome.

OMG I am so getting PAN'S. I seem to be really missing something,not having seen it.
Gamine,who's Kirstie Allen?
The Diving Bell is not for the faint of heart, because it's a true story. He's a gifted man who suffers a stroke, and is completely paralysed,except for one eye. And his mind's just fine,so it's like being trapped inside a nightmare. And the director unravels the story from within the man, so you see only when and what he sees, so that watching the movie is like being trapped in that body with him.It's terrible.

Vesc doesn't mean any harm. He's just territorial.
You can bug in all you want jare.

See his head. 
Oh man. I can't find Pan's anywhere. Will run it to earth though. Checked up on it and it sounds too awesome for words.

Looking for the DVD actually. I prefer those. But I don't mind making an exception if it's available for downloading.

PAN's downloaded.
Would rather manually shop for the danged things and be delighted to find it, than download.Only exceptions are Linkin Park videos and albums. But then, they are my favourite rock band. Having everything at my fingertips is so boring.

Will watch PAN''s with my Mister Boi in the evening. So looking forward to this one.

Max! I just opened a thread in the music section. Go and give it a grand opening. I like Mike Shinoda and linkin' Park's hit songs but never the entirety of their albums. Fort Minor on the other hand is another thing entirely. Don't cut off my head yet. I can change 

And don't listen to iice to much, she's wanted in 15 states in the U.S. plus the CIA are looking to use her to get the Big Fishes in China and Taiwan. If you listen to her cookies will be stored in your CPU and the CIA will come aknocking soon.

iice, you're still my favorite person, eh.
